“We
face serious energy management challenges on a number of fronts,”
said Secretary Abraham. “We won’t be able to address these
challenges without the kind of collaboration between the public and
private sectors that this conference seeks to achieve.”
The
event, the second in a series of nationwide events, was hosted by
Eaton Corporation as part of its continuing effort to provide leaders
from the public sector and industry with the tools they need to
navigate rapidly evolving needs for improved energy management.
Eaton, which has nearly 400 employees in Texas, and works with local
customers, including Austin Energy, The University of Texas at
Austin, and Dell, offers a wide array of energy management products
and solutions in the areas of renewable energy, high-performance
green buildings, hybrid and advanced vehicle technology, and energy
efficiency.
